Great uni, accommodation stupidly expensive and construction fairly constant.

Some organization of modules is dodgy- like not having anywhere to submit assignments until someone emails in and asks about it.

Way too expensive for what it is. Said there was an actual oven- it’s a microwave oven. Construction on the floor above which is quite loud, drains that block easily and toilets that take several flushes before being very effective. Otherwise nice

I first came across UEA at a university fair at a hotel somewhere in Subang Jaya and was pleasantly greeted by Pete Ryan, our lovely Regional South-East Asian Office Manager who sold UEA’s campus and the student experience to me. My first impression of UEA based on the research that I had done made UEA seem like they prioritise student satisfaction and the environment on campus seemed very fun and exciting based on all the events and activities they had to offer. On top of my offer, I was fortunately offered the 50th Anniversary Scholarship which meant 50% off tuition fees for my first year so I was even more excited to be attending UEA. I am really enjoying my course here at UEA as my lecturers are very supportive, approachable, engaging and most importantly, passionate. Besides lectures, seminars, and workshops, the lecturers organise support sessions and office hours which are fantastic opportunities for students to seek help about material we learn in class. The School of Economics as a whole are very proactive and they do their best to help both students and staff. I am part of the Staff-Student Liaison Committee (SSLC) as a Student Representative and we try to solve problems or feedback given within the school of Economics by both students and staff. The school also organises various events besides lectures such as socials between staff and students, contemporary economic issues lectures, and publishes the Norwich Economic Papers. I love the UEA campus as everything you need is on campus, from cafes to banks and launderettes which makes it very convenient for students. Having a campus-based university makes students feel part of a UEA student community. There are plenty of events and activities organised by the student union such as concerts, free movie screenings and interesting lectures. The Sportspark has really good facilities such as a 50m swimming pool, a climbing wall, football pitches and indoor courts. There are also many clubs and societies to join where you can try out a new activity and make new friends. I am part of the swimming team and we compete in swim meets and volunteer to help run swim meets for primary and secondary. As a committee member for the Malaysian Society, we organise social events for Malaysian students and events to promote Malaysian culture. The International Student Advisory Team (ISAT) also organises many activities and trips specifically for international trips such as trips to Edinburgh, local seaside towns and the Harry Potter Studios Tour. Living in Norwich is very different from all the places I have lived in as it is very rural and modern all at the same time. The city centre is very quaint as it feels as if you have stepped back in time and you are walking through Old England which also provides a pleasant environment to study in. Besides that, I enjoy how close the city is from campus and how easily accessible it is by public transport.
